Not sure if you should be more excited about the fast-approaching Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra or the “normal” Z Fold 8 (formerly known as the Z Fold 8 Wide)? What if you decide to stop waiting for Samsung’s next-gen book-style foldables and purchase a current model instead?
I’m obviously talking about the non-Ultra-branded Galaxy Z Fold 7, which is the only book-style foldable device the world’s number two smartphone vendor released last year. The Snapdragon 8 Elite powerhouse with massive 8 and 6.5-inch screens in tow was originally priced at $1,999.99 and up, but for an undoubtedly limited time, you can save $466.40 (or 23 percent) on said entry-level 256GB storage variant without jumping through any hoops.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7
$466 off (23%)
If you want to keep your foldable spending to a minimum but would still like to own a super-powerful book-style giant, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 can be yours for an undoubtedly limited time only at a huge $466.40 discount with 256GB internal storage space in a Jet Black colorway with a full 1-year manufacturer warranty included.
Buy at Amazon
This ultra-rare Amazon discount is offered on a Jet Black color option only, with the rest of the hues costing $400 less than usual. That was the e-commerce giant’s price cut available across the board last week, and it’s also still what you can save over on Samsung’s official US website sans trade-in.
Amazon’s heftier 512GB discount, mind you, is no longer up for grabs, so this is undeniably your best money-saving route for probably the greatest foldable phone available in the US… before the aforementioned Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra are released.

Despite what its pompous new name might suggest, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is not actually expected to radically change that many things about the Z Fold 7, keeping the design pretty much untouched, retaining the exact same screen sizes, and upgrading the battery capacity and charging speeds.
Those are without a doubt two of the Galaxy Z Fold 7‘s weaknesses against the likes of Motorola’s Razr Fold and (reportedly) Apple’s upcoming iPhone Ultra, but that’s where this hot new $466.40 markdown comes in, bringing the 2025-released giant to a price point the Z Fold 8 Ultra is unlikely to come close to anytime soon. Possibly, ever.
